Ovarian cyst - scared- trying to get pregnant

[mommamia8]

I just turned 31 yrs old and have always been quite healthy.  I have a two year old and we had just started trying for another baby this month. Recently, I had some back aches and a lot of cramping so I went to my doctor and they did an internal ultrasound.  I just got the news yesterday that I have a cyst on my left ovary and they need to do a followup ultrasound in 6 weeks to make sure it hasn't grown.  I am so scared- I don't know what to think.  It just seems like a cruel joke that we waited for the 'right' time to try again for another baby and this happens.  I had no problems prior to this- is this caused from stress on my part since I have been anxious to get pregnant right away? We didn't have problems with our 1st boy - one time and it worked so I just thought it would be just as easy.  Does anybody have any reassuring advice on cysts?  Should I continue trying to conceive before my next ultrasound or should we wait?  Will I have problems in the future conceiving because of this.  Will the cyst stop me from ovulating and having my period?  The reason being I am scheduled for my period today and I still haven't gotten it yet and have been having a lot of white thick discharge.  Any advice would be appreciated...

Thanks!

You are not alone. 3 years ago in July of 2007, I had to have my right ovary and tube removed, due to an ovarian cyst. I turned 31 this year and got married last Februray, and have been trying to get pregnant since March of this year and nothing. I am soo scarred that I will not be able to have my own child. We have been trying all the techniques that have been posted up on the internet. We do the ovulation testing, sperm saving, carrot eating, and cough syrup methods and we still can conceive. My huspand has been to the doctor and got checked and he is just fine. Now it is falling on me. I went to the doctor but I haven't got my results back yet. When they do come back I soo hope that they are ok. I am gonna pray for you and me to get pregnant with our first kids.  My words to you is don't give up, and I am not eiher. God bless.

I have also cyst at the right side of my ovary..i went to the dr. last 2008..she said that i need to be operated and its only a minor operation.  But because its my first time to hear those diagnoses, i didnt return.   Now. its 2010 i think i need to see the dr. again and have it operated before its too late.  My mentruation is regular but this aug.11 was surprised when i had a period with a little stain, i am hoping it comes on 20th day but no period.Next year i am planning to get married to a british guy, hoping i can give him a child.  

Wish me luck..friends

i also found out that i have cyst on my left ovary at the beginning of this year.i am always bloated and in pain,i also been ttc for over a year and now my gyno wants me to do the operation to remove the cyst,but i am scared to do so as i am afraid it may limit my chances of conceving and again im afraid i may not if i dnt do the surgery..im confused,so please share with me what you think is better,surgery or not surgery?

Earlier this year I woke in the middle of the night with cold sweats and a terrible pain in my abdomen. I thought they were just menstrual cramps but after agonizing for 5 hours I went into the emergency room. Turns out I had a grapefruit-sized ovarian cyst that ruptured and I had to go in for emergency surgery.

I'm 21 now and my fiance and I are worried about my ability to have children (whether it be now or later).  We tried for a few months with no luck, and now we're just taking it easy and hoping it will happen on its own.

Does anybody out there have any advice/stories about a similar situation that yourself or someone you know may have been in?  I've never really wanted children until I met my fiance, and now it seems like if I can't I will never be complete...

So, on that note, anything that anybody could share would be greatly appreciated.
